Brought to enjoy at my favorite Indian restaurant. Ripe, almost bruised apple, lemon zest, and ginger. Great acidity would carry this for several more years if I had the patience. Dry, but still stood up nicely to the intense spiciness of the meal.

16.5/20 (90/100) Оксидативный стиль. Аромат кураги, сушеных яблок и груш, немного канифоли. Высокая кислотность, умеренная тельность. Насыщенное во вкусе. Неплохо.

Primo chenin blanc assaggiato, buono! Profumi delicati di fiori e agrumi, fresco e morbido in bocca.
